The Village Improvement Society
held very interesting meeting last
Saturday evening. Various matters
pertaining to the welfare of the village
were brought up and discussed.
Among them we're the improvement

public reading-room. The next meet

from several of the committees will be

''All's we'll that ends WE'LL" At least
so think the party of five who were
split OUT when returning home from
the Soldiers Reunion last Thursday.
They accidentally ran into team
in front of them, forcing the pole of
their wagon through the top of the
carriage, and then in trying to back
out had the still further misfortune to
break the pole, thereby frightening
their horses, which caused them to run
into ditch and dump the entire load.
Fortunately the ground was soft where
the tip-over occurred and with the ex-
ception of lively shaking up, but one
of the party was injured. she sustain
ing a severe sprain. 1t was what
might we'll be termed fortunate mis-
fortune. Nevertheless, we are very
sure that none Of the party cares for
its repetition.
